Before I offer up this next challenge, I encourage you to go back to our last organizing challenge post and read the comments. There are so many good suggestions on thread storage AND other organizing tidbits you can pick up. I’m happy that you all seem so excited about this! I only got to spend […]
8 Comments. Continue Reading...Nearly halfway through October already! I can’t seem to get caught up. Did you manage to get rid of at least 14 things over the last couple weeks? I did more than 14, but stopped counting after I reached 14. It sure felt good to get rid of some things that were just laying around […]

Here’s the after picture: I know it doesn’t look too much different than the before photo, but it really is more organized now. I […]
9 Comments. Continue Reading...I’d like to say I’ve been working on organizing, but I can’t. I haven’t been organizing — I’ve been putzing. I have cleaned out a couple tubs of stuff. I’ve put away some fabric. I’ve dealt with some scraps, and even finished a couple quilt tops. I cleaned out some file folders, and filed some […]
15 Comments. Continue Reading...I’m a bit late posting this, but that’s because I haven’t been doing any organizing. My mojo is gone, and my upper appendages are still fairly useless, so I haven’t been getting much of anything accomplished. So this task is, again, not really a “task” at all — it’s some more links you might like […]

Our last challenge was to deal with paper clutter, and even tho I did go through some stuff and toss a bunch, I didn’t really address the challenge fully. And I haven’t offered one up since […]
9 Comments. Continue Reading...I really enjoyed reading all the comments on the last challenge post and hearing what you all were going to choose for that task. Did you get it done? I worked on mine, but naturally, I’m not done. I sewed three more pillowcases, and was very near the end of the pile, when I decided […]

Continue Reading...I seriously thought about skipping a second task for this month like I did last month, but then I read a little blurb from someone about how cleaning up their sewing room was all they needed to get their mojo back, so given my current slump, I decided it could possibly work, so I need […]
15 Comments. Continue Reading...I completely skipped a second organizing task in April. My mojo has been failing me lately. I’ve been unmotivated, uninspired, unimaginative, and just plain tired. But evidently, I can still pen a rhyme! Haha! I did get my computer files cleaned up. That felt good. It’s always a comfort to have new fresh backups, too. […]

The drawer I cleaned out is the drawer where I keep all my template plastic, specialty templates (of which […]
